I can’t find any information regarding the total amount of money spent for the last year or any other information about annual expenditure on roads which the Tories seem over zealous in building in recent years. However as any motorist knows road building has been prolific in the last two or three years involving new roads and extensions to existing roads. Many in my opinion unnecessary. Money going straight into the bank accounts of private contractors no doubt.

We also need to consider the enormous amount of money spent on so-called defence – when were we last attacked – For the fiscal year ending in March 2018:UK Defence spending was reported to be £45.4 billion.

In addition there is money from tax avoidance, click the arrow below to see what revenue collected from tax dodgers would provide for the NHS:

We need to talk about taking tax from those who can afford it, big corporations and other tax avoiders and dodgers. It’s time to increase the tax for the rich.

It is estimated that that big business potentially underpaid £25bn in UK taxes last year. The government it seems are going after poor people who top up low wages or benefits by selling on ebay, dog walking and other odd jobs rather than target corporations. Again as is always the case, the government is working ‘for the few’ while penalising the many, but that is another blog for another time perhaps. Some estimates put this figure much higher at £34 billion.

We are the sixth richest country in the world, surely there is money for healthcare, if there is not the government must find it, reduce the road construction budget and “defense”spending which since 9/11 has rose from £28 billion to £45 billion, take it from the wealthy with higher taxation. Why should someone live in a huge house, an expensive apartment, have zillions in the bank, yachts, holidays, second third homes while others die unnecessarily while our health service flounders?

Maybe a drop in the ocean you might think but add all these drops add up and they become more significant. There is sufficient resources in the UK to provide the best healthcare for everyone. Ask most people what is more important than health, I doubt if anyone will say more road building.

Frankly I think the government intend to deliberately send the NHS into crisis to prepare the ground for full privatisation which could well pave the way for an American style healthcare system with disastrous consequences of which I am sure most people are aware.

Demand a fully funded NHS where the latest in health care is available to everyone and where the staff are paid a decent wage in keeping with all the hard and stressful work they put in caring for us all.
